A Notable Address.

Among the orations delivered on the
Federal Decoration Day, that of Gen. ). &.
Griffin, at Hadlcy, Mass, viii cause pleas
ure at the South.
Gen. Griffin was ONE of New Halpshire's
soldiers in the war between the States. He
was afterward a Republican member If
Congress. The subject of his Grafton was
''Thc South OF To-day" The Boston Herald
reported his speech in full, and from that
journal the following condensation is taken:
Within the last ten years, Gen. Griffin
said, we are told that 1900 miles of rail
road have been built in the South, and
more than $500, 600, 600 has been expended
on railroads in the Southern States. The
assessed valuation of property has increased
during that time about 81 500, 100000. There
is 500, 1000 more capital invested in the
South in cattle alone than there was ten
years ago. The cotton mills have doubled
in number and in capacity in the last four
years, and cotton oil mills have quadrupled
in the same time. The nation is familiar
with the great increase of iron produc-
ton in the South, and knows that she
has the largest deposits of coal and iron in
Alabama, Gen. Griffin said, which ten years
ago might have been bought for $4,000, to-
day could not be bought for $50, 100000.
The city of Birmingham, Ala, to which at
tention has often been directed, has grown
up in that time. To show how the iron in
terest of the South is increasing it is stated
that from 1880 to 1884 Virginia, Alabama,
and Tennessee increased the product of pig
iron 100000 tons, while in all the rest of the
United States the product decreased 5000
tons
Gen. Griffin has made frequent visits to
the South and is familiar with business
operations in this section. He bears testi-
mony TO the cordial good win of this section
for the North. Considering the fact that
Gen. Griffin was an officer in the Northern
army during the war, and since Republi-
can member of Congress, his statement
ought to be convincing.
1t is such addresses as that of Gen Griffin
that make all sections of the country really
one. The people of the South are in the
Union and they mean to stay there. All
they ask is that their protestation of loyalty
to the government shall be accepted in good
faith

Sir Charles Russell Gets Mad.
From the 81. .Tnn,cs Gozetto


1t is certainly somewhat startling to a harris
ter to be introduced personally to the scene by
a witness whom he is cross-examining. This
happened yesterday during the progress of the
libel action brought by DR.. Pankhurst against
Col. Hamilton. The defendant was in the box
and being challenged by Sir Charles Russell.
who was cross examining him on behalf of the
plaintiff as to whether he had ever been told
that DR.. Pankhurst was an atheist declared
amidst much merriment, in which the learned
Judge Joined, that il was Sir Charles himself
who was bis informant. Whereupon counsel be-
came extremely angry, and proposed to take
his wig off and go into the bog in order to give
an absolute contradiction to the statement; and
q very pretty little scene ensued daring the
progress of which many harsh terms we're used.
In the course of trial which took place a few
years ago the late SERGEANT Ballantine asked a
witness II he had ever seen a single individual
go behind the scenes at q certain theatre Yes
SERGEANT" was the prompt reply, Il have seen
you" Don't you dare to introduce me into
this matter" cried the SERGEANT, in a voice OF
thunder, and the unfortunate witness subsidized
into his boots. But Sir Charles Russell, though
a "harbitrary gent" did not succeed in over
awning his opponent so easily.

If the Macon correspondent of the At
lanta Constitution is worthy of belief, re-
marhable thing occurred the other day
while Gov. Gordon was on his way from
Macon to the railroad picnic at Monticello.
The correspondent says: "As the Governors
train went bounding over the hills, his ex-
cellency himself held the throttle, and the
people knew that all was well when they
saw tine knightly form of Gordon at the
helm" A train that goes bounding over
the hills and which possesses a helm ought to
be caught and put on exhibition at the fall
fairs.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer
Harry Fitch, a precocious 3year-older of Fern
Bank, enjoys the distinction of being about the
youngest traveller on record. His journey is all
the more remarkable when the fact is consid-
cred that it was entirely of his own vol!tion.
Tuesday the child was taking a walk for his own
amusement, when the passenger train or the
Big Four halted FOR a minute at the Fern Bank
station. The youth saw his opportunity, and
clambered on the rear platform Of the last
coach at least he is supposed TO have done so,
for when the train reached North Bend the con
ductor, having occasion to step to the platform,
found the little fellow clinging TO the brake his
hair full of cinders and his eyes shining with de-
light The conductor was dazed with fright,
bun the boy wasn't
BY dint of questioning it was found that he
was the son of George Fitch of Fern Bank, and
that he had got on the train ''tos he wanted to
go by-by." The conductor intensely relieved,
placed him in charge of one of the men on the
Cincinnati-bouud train and he was returned to
his mothers arms before his absence had caused
serious alarm. He Is one of the boys who can

idea. He believes that riding to hounds,

because it creates military reserve, ready
to be turned into cavalrynen whenever the

to vote a medal to Mr.. Roosevelt. Those
who generally accompany him when he
rides to hounds are the pale and listless soci-
ETY. young men of New York, together with
contingency of petted maidens to lisp
words of encouragement. From such

The Future of the Negro.

The question of the future of the negro in
this country is one that will continue to at
tract attention. DIR. Corson, in his lecture
before the Historical Society on Monday
night, took the ground that the negro will
eventually disappear. The mortuary statis-
tics of the Southern cities show that the
death rate of the blacks is double that of the
whites. The blacks are also degenerating
physically, and are becoming the victims of
diseases from which, in slave times, they
were almost exempt But miscegenation,
DIR. CorSon thinks, more than any other
thing will bring about their disappearance.
The stronger race will absorb, as it were.
the weaker one.
In Mondays New York Sun there is an
article from Abbeville, S. c., in which the
writer expresses about the same views as
those of DIR. Corson. He differs with him.
however, in this: He does not believe the
negro is dying out He does believe,
however, that miscegenation is
working the determination of the
black race. He says that there are
very few genuine black faces now. There
are colored faces, and they are of all shades

The Abbeville writer predicts that in fifty

South as his own territory, do not have APP
peared to have studied the race problem
very thoroughly if what Southern writers
have to say about it is correct; but assum-
ing that the miscegenation theory is the
correct one, it will be many generations he

Roads Needed in Florida.

Railroads are being built very rapidly in
Florida and soon all of the most thicllly set
tied portions of the State will have their
chief towns connected with the great rail-
road systems of the country. There is a
kind of railroads, however, which the State
needs badly, and which can only be built,
perhaps after there is very considerable
increase in wealth and population The
roads referred to are those which would en-
able the fruit and vegetable growers to get
their products to the main transportation
lines quickly. The great majority of the
farmers now live many miles from rail
road, and are compelled to haul their prod
ucts at considerable expense to the nearest
railroad depots through very heavy sand
The material with which to build
good dirt roads is not at hand,
and to bring it where it is needed
would cost about as much as to construct
very light railroads. On some of the large
sugar plantations of Louisiana there are in
use cheap railroads which answer admira-
bly, the purposes for which they are intend
ed The road beds are thrown up quickly.
and the rails are very light. When it is
necessary to change one Of these roads from
one part of a plantation to another the
change is made quickly and at very little
expense Some such roads as these-a little
better perhaps-are what are needed in
Florida to aid in getting the products of the
farms and groves to market quickly and
inexpensively. The cost of hauling their
products in wagons through sand foot
deep is a pretty heavy burden on Florida
farmers
